About Simunix
Since 1998, Simunix has been providing UK private and public sector organisations with the intelligence tools they need to prevent and protect against fraud, identity theft and misrepresentation by those who seek to take advantage of the digital world.
Our suite of solutions provides our customers with the investigative means to verify, accept, or reject any information provided by their prospective customers or subjects under investigation. Around three-quarters of UK police forces rely on our data to locate people, verify whereabouts, and check the accounts individuals give of themselves. Alongside that public-sector base, we serve financial services firms, debt recovery businesses, the property sector, and any organisation that needs to verify who it is dealing with.
With a dedicated team nurturing one-to-one, personal relationships with every customer, we are here to ensure our customers' businesses are in the safest hands.
The Opportunity
This is a rare opportunity to take the helm of a profitable, deeply embedded data business and build the commercial engine that will drive its next phase of growth.
You will join directly as CEO, reporting to a Banyan Operating Leader, with full operational authority over how you run the business. With Banyan's backing and shared AI and operational expertise behind you, your job is to turn a strong, durable asset into a growth company: improve new-logo acquisition, expand into adjacent public- and private-sector markets, and make the product the primary competitive advantage. The opportunity to create structural distance through AI is real.
What You Will Own
Strategy and Commercial Outcomes
Own the company's strategic direction, market positioning, and competitive response.
Drive revenue growth with full P&L accountability across retention, expansion, pricing, and new customer acquisition.
Build a repeatable, scalable go-to-market engine that reopens new-logo sales and reduces reliance on back-to-base growth, to return the business to double-digit growth.
Expand the addressable market beyond the established policing base to include adjacent public-sector buyers (local authorities, healthcare) and grow the private-sector footprint across financial services, AML, and identity verification.
Establish pricing and packaging strategies that reflect the value the data and platform deliver.
Identify and act on AI-driven opportunities to reposition the product and create a durable competitive distance.
